ABB Relion REX615 Protection and Control Relay

Source-aware profile of ABB Relion REX615, a modular all-in-one protection and control relay for power distribution applications.

Product scope

REX615 is ABB’s modular protection and control relay platform for distribution and generation applications. ABB lists feeder, line differential, transformer, machine, shunt capacitor, interconnection, voltage, busbar and arc-protection uses.

Architecture

The manufacturer describes scalable hardware and software, integrated arc-flash protection and IEC 61850 support. Multiple application packages do not mean every function is present in every ordered relay.

Engineering interpretation

A common platform can reduce engineering diversity, but standardisation must include exact application package, analog-input type, I/O, communication board, firmware, settings template and cybersecurity baseline.

Specification caution

Verify the order code and intended function set. Do not use a family-level feature list as proof that the delivered relay includes a particular protection element, sensor input or redundant Ethernet option.

Official sources and revision control

Technical review date: 16 August 2026. Standards and product capabilities can change; confirm the project-specific edition, firmware, options and ordered configuration before engineering or procurement.
